This is why Valorant will not have map selection

Since the game’s release, Valorant map rotation RNG has been a problem. Despite the fact that there are currently seven maps in the rotation, the game still lacks a map pick function, and we now know why.

Valorant was launched with only four places and no option to choose a map. Players initially grumbled about having to play the same map up to six times in a row. Greater diversity in the map pool, according to Riot Games, could fix the problem. Many gamers are still having trouble with the issue, despite the fact that there are now seven maps available.

Despite these player complaints, senior competitive designer EvrMoar has stated why Valorant does not have a map choosing function.

Why can’t you choose your own maps in Valorant?

Our current map selection process is "Weighted Random" otherwise known as a ticket system. When you play on a map, in the next lobby it reduces the chance to get that map again. We are actively talking about this system and exploring ideas👀#VALORANT https://t.co/juLMCq9MeJ

According to EvrMoar, the present approach compels players to study all maps rather than choose the same one or two over and over, which improves the game’s overall skill level. High-ranking Valorant players are deserving of their badges in the current patch, as they succeed in all areas.

According to EvrMoar, a ban-pick system will cause players to choose a simpler map in order to rise ranks faster. Because the player population will be divided between actual high-level players and those that ranked up by spamming the same map, this will have an impact on the ranking experience. As a result, the current method assures a more balanced skill set. At least, that’s what Riot Games claims.

“Players don’t spend the time to learn a new map they may love! It does suck not knowing a map, but if the community always avoids it may bleed a fun map from the game. Who knows what the future holds tho, VALORANT is young!” EvrMoar said.

Players, on the other hand, are irritated by having to play the same maps again and over. While the increased amount of maps means they no longer have to play the same map six times in a row, some players still experience streaks of playing the same map too frequently. Players desire greater influence over which maps they play because the map rotation RNG isn’t flawless.
